Paradox Road is a nearly 4-mile dead-end trail that follows a utility corridor past a few campsites. The road surface is primarily hard-packed dirt with exposed chunky sandstone, which makes the road rough and bumpy. Rocks and general smaller than a baseball, with a few sporadic grapefruit-sized rocks that can easily be avoided. The trail ends at a private property gate and boundary. The best camping is located within the first 1.5 miles, where there are 3-4 spacious and fairly flat sites good for ground tents, rooftop tents, and offroad trailers. The trail is easily handled in 2WD by any high clearance vehicle. Vehicles with low clearance should avoid this road after the first half mile.
